pubic hair, yay or nay?

Another post got me thinking. I think each generation is different when it comes to pubic hair. (i hate the word! lol)For example, I'm in my mid 20s and if I'm not totally trimmed and shaved when I see the OB i'm like embarrassed. My sister, who is over 10 years older than me, is the opposite and would be embarrassed at the OB if she showed up next to bare.I'm curious, What do you think? What's your age vs your hair down there pref? Haha!

I'm 24 and I try to keep it trimmed and shaped up, but I don't go bare. I really can't though because of how badly shaving or waxing irritates me. I also don't care what my OB thinks. I don't think it makes any difference to him and I'm not embarrassed. I do think I'm abnormal for my generation :)

I'm 32 on #4. Had #1 at 22 and always groomed but didn't go bare. #2 at 26 and made sure to be completely waxed before every appt and delivery...not sure if I was embarrassed. I just wanted it that way. #3 at 30 and didn't care either way but waxed most of the time. Now I just get lucky if I find time to get a wax lol! But I do clean up on my own ;). Couldn't care less what my ob thinks. I always remind myself they see old lady vaginas so a hairy young one can't be that bad lol!!!

Can't stand to shave or wax. I get way too irritated. I trim things down though. I don't care what my OB thinks. DH actually prefers a little hair there so he doesn't feel like a skeevy old man going after a little girl.

I find it itchy when the hair starts regrowing if I shave. I prefer to leave it "natural," just scrupulously clean and dry. I felt ashamed going in for the pelvic exam bc I don't know what everybody else does, but if I can't keep it shaved all the time I'd rather do it this way. I don't know why it *should* be nasty, anyway. Interested in everyone else's opinions. Btw I'm 27.

I'm 34 and keep it trimmed. I tried to go bare but it was too irritating on my skin and too much of an upkeep. I'm wondering though- what will everyone do when you can't see down there and it may be too hard to reach?

26 and trimmed very short and neat. Bare would make me feelLike a baby and my Hubby a petafile lol. I keep it trimmed and neat as it feels comfy that way and Hubby likes it that way. Occasionally I'll wax just the bikini line but I don't do this all the time coz it can irritate my skin. I don't care what doctors think, they see 100's of vagies a day and I'm sure there are some apes so who cares? Plus, I've never been examined from my vagina at an ultrasound?!?! Only at later pregnancy checkups and in childbirth!

Great topic! 30... I'm torn, know the norm is shaved but I could care less. I was so mortified my first appointment, I was so sick I hadn't shaved my legs in forever...I just knew she would talk about that hairy patient she had earlier...ha ha. With my son 4yr ago I thought I'd look like a skank if I went in shaved so went au natural...but later talking to other mom's it sounded like most people shave...Does it Really matter?

I try to keep it trimmed in general, I've been completely waxed and shaved before, and I like orbit I hate the itchy feeling when it grows back, so being completely bare isn't worth it to me. I try to trim it before going to see the doctor, more because I think it's cleaner and easier for my OB if it's clean, not because I'm embarrassed. when I was close to the end of my pregnancy with DD I really wanted to trim it really short, just so during/after delivery clean up would be easier--but I couldn't see it over my belly! My DH helped me and I think we both thought the whole experience was just hilarious!

Trimmed short as I can get without it being bare or looking like a 5 o'clock shadow lol. I can't stand the look of shaved... Looks way too much like a little girl to me! And I'm 24 so in definitely not the norm for my age group!
